Clean installation system update

[Alessio_841]

Hi Community,

In this hours is rolling out a new system update with the new security patches.

Since this is a system update, I would have to know what is a correct procedure to have a full clean installation to avoid eventual writing errors during the update process over the old files and libraries.

This question I think might be very useful for all system updates, majors and minors.

A technical answer and procedure is very welcome.

Thanks!

Hello, i solved the problem. It's very easy. Use mobile data while downloading and updating. Don't use Wi-fi. Trust me. It works.

Maybe SONY could make a possibility to make it easy to perform a clean install with the newest updates?

I proceed in this way:

1) factory reset by the device (App>Backup &Restore);

2) when the welcome screen is showed, I open Xperia Companion and connect the device to PC;

3) update the software, when a notification of software update is showed on the PC, following the instructions;

4) when the welcome screen is showed again, connection to PC and perform a Software Repair (that install the latest firmware and system update);

5) at the end of repair, first boot and full configuration as new device;

6) reinstall all apps.

In this way, by factory reset first, I totally clean the device by come back it to factory files ready to be overwritten by the new ones with the system or firmware update reducing to the least possible errors of write during update process.

This is my logical though, but I would have confirm this is correct and logical or not by Sony's support team or other experts.
